The critical and specialty minerals box score for Tuesday was a positive 90-70-150 as the TSX Venture Exchange rose eight points to 938. Canada Carbon Inc. (CCB), a Quebec graphite hunter halted at 1.5 cents last August for failing to pay its sustaining fees, resumed trading today. It did not go well, as it lost one cent to one-half cent on 3.16 million shares, as investors who were locked in for the past seven months dashed to the first available exit. Fortunately, that approved 1:10 consolidation has not kicked in yet.

Jean-Raymond Boulle's promotional time capsule, Star Diamond Corp. (DIAM), rose one-half cent to 3.5 cents on 400,000 shares. The company's stock has been treading water along the 3.5-cent mark since last summer, occasionally sinking to three cents or bobbing up to four cents. That is no surprise -- at least not since Ewan Mason retired and Mr. Boulle rejigged the company's management and board back in November.
